U.S. Marshals Add Convicted Child Predator to 15 Most Wanted

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Marshals Service
added a convicted child predator to its 15 Most Wanted fugitive list today.

Clyde Hall Jr., a career sex offender,
who is wanted in the Northern District of New York for violation of federal
supervised release, failed to report to a halfway house in New York after
serving a 25-month prison sentence for violations of the Adam Walsh Child
Protection and Safety Act at the Butner Federal Correctional Institute in North
Carolina.

Hall has a violent and abusive criminal
history dating back to 1985 with prior convictions for assault and multiple sex
offenses. He is clinically diagnosed as a sociopathic psychosexual career sex
offender and the State of New York has labeled him a Tier III sex offender, its
most dangerous sex offender classification.

“Hall is a vicious sex offender with
violent tendencies and a history that dictates he will most assuredly offend
again,” said David L. Harlow, Assistant Director for Investigative Operations.
“It is imperative that we employ every available investigative resource to
immediately locate and arrest Hall before he has the opportunity to once again
prey upon innocent women and children.”

Authorities warn that Hall is sexually
attracted primarily to adolescent girls, but has secondary interests in and an
attraction to younger boys. He has admitted to sexually abusing two 10-year-old
girls and forcibly raping two adult women while in his twenties. Hall’s
condition requires a high degree of clinical supervision and dictates he must
participate in sex offender treatment. He poses a high degree of danger to the
community.

“Hall is a career sex offender who
committed countless violent acts against innocent women and children,” said
David L. McNulty, U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of New York. “His
capture deserves our full investigative attention and we will work with our
federal, state, and local partners to ensure justice is served against this
violent sexual predator. Hall cannot escape the long arm of the law.”

A reward of up to $25,000 is offered for
information leading directly to his arrest.

Anyone with information is urged to
